The Energy & AI Hackathon will be held for university students through a joint partnership between the Ministry of Energy and SOCAR, as part of the Switch Off and Win! energy efficiency campaign implemented by the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
The main objective of the hackathon, which will be held on 11 December at SOCAR’s Baku Higher Oil School, is to harness students’ innovative and technological potential to address existing challenges in energy efficiency and encourage the development of practical, implementable solutions using artificial intelligence and digital technologies.
As part of the Hackathon, participants will be provided with real energy consumption data. Participating teams will be tasked with analysing the data to identify instances of inefficient energy consumption, determine their potential causes, and develop AI-based digital solutions or functional prototypes aimed at reducing energy waste.
The competition is open to third- and fourth-year undergraduate students, as well as master's and doctoral students pursuing degrees in energy, engineering, information technology, computer science, artificial intelligence, data analytics, economics, and other related disciplines. Teams must consist of a minimum of three and a maximum of five members. Each team is required to complete a registration form.
The Hackathon offers a total prize of 10500 AZN, with 5000 AZN awarded to the first-place team, 3500 AZN to the second-place team, and 2000 AZN to the third-place team.
Students wishing to participate in the Hackathon can apply by 15 November 2026 via the registration form.
